In Response To: Where to Buy Decorative Veneer?? (Jim)

I bought a veneer bargain pack from this company about 6 months ago. They are unbacked veneers but they seem to work quite well. The nice part is that its a variety pack. I got about 10 species in my pack with a lot of nice colors and grain patterns. The pieces are about a foot long and range from about 3 "wide to 12" wide. I bought a 50 square foot box for $19.95

Hopefully the link works but here it is just in case
